Sadly, with the way this world is going, I can't say that I'm totally against the government, whether it be local, state or federal, keeping an eye on people and what they are up to......with terrorism, drugs and the crap that's available on the internet, and that field opens up a whole new avenue for all types of deviant behavior, someone has to keep it in check.

is the house situated in a way were he could sell the house and a small piece of land around it and sell the remainder of the land off to you separately? or maybe you could consider buying the whole lot and doing the same to make some $$ back..........that may be a good option, unless you don't want another neighbor.

any thread that mentions Cuomo and anything he has his hands on eventually makes its way to becoming a full blown anti Safe Act thread.........no matter what it was originally intended for.

domestic problems.............the #1 reason pistol licenses get revoked, even when the license holder may not have done anything wrong.

it's not just the pistol you'll lose, it's ALL your guns........

so you realize, that if you should ever get that pistol license revoked you will have to give up ALL your guns?

I'm aware of that.....I consider that one of the inconveniences.

I think I said the inconvenience of getting ammo will effect me............

none of the gun restrictions have any impact me, of course the inconvenience of getting ammo is going to have some effect on me...........and obviously if I turn into a criminal or develop major psychiatric problems overnight it's going to definitely effect me, that's why I said it doesn't effect me TODAY.

after reading the last few posts, it's fairly obvious that along with the totally anti gun people, there are even pro gun people who have no problem with the Safe Act being passed.........TODAY it doesn't effect me either nor do crossbows, who knows what tomorrow may bring.

see, at least Cuomo has people thinking about how stuff gets done in the government.............

earlier I was just pointing out that backyard practice is fairly common in suburbia...............I wasn't trying to argue the point of it's legality or safety, maybe it doesn't alarm the average citizen when they see their neighbor doing it, why I don't know, maybe they don't realize how potentially dangerous in can be........now take that same archer, stick him in a treestand dressed in camo hunting deer, and I'm sure that will be viewed entirely different by the same person who never gave a second thought to the seemingly harmless target shooter.

and outside of the NYS ECL, there may be local ordinances that may even further restrict or entirely forbid the discharge of any firearm or bow........

I don't think anyone is arguing the safety point...........it was said earlier that this will open the door for backyard archers, backyard target shooting has been going on for years, whether or not you want to believe it.............target shooting and shooting a deer without a safe man made backstop are two different things.

thanks for confirming what I said earlier.....backyard archery is widespread and many are under the 500' rule. I know maybe 10-15 archers, the majority shoot safely in their backyards without problems or complaints from neighbors.

Amityville, it's down on Long Island..........a real gem of a neighborhood.

If you could take a poll , especially on L.I., the number of archers who shoot in their backyard would surprise you.

I'm willing to bet that there's already quite a few backyard target archers that are closer to the neighboring houses than 500'..........probably more than you could count.

well thought out response.....no wonder some people think hunters are uneducated savages.

can't wait to get my hands on a crossbow and sit 50 yards from my neighbors house..........

They made a movie about that, I think it was called "Brokeback Mountain"...........and it turned out not to be CWD.

might as well save your breath, it doesn't matter if Cuomo backs something that's good for hunters or bad for hunters. If he signs off on something that is good for us, he's "throwing us a bone"..........if he signs off on something bad for us, "he's anti hunting"..............most of these proposed changes have been around before he was even elected.

here's my study, me and the guys I hunt with used to be able to go hunting in our area and enjoy ourselves, make our own choices as to whether or not we wanted to shoot a certain buck or pass on it. A few years ago AR's were forced down our throats and now we no longer can make our own choices..........the result of my study is that I've come to the conclusion that mandatory AR's suck.

I would hope that if the situation warrants it, that someone would dig a little deeper and look into whether or not some people have access to weapons...........

my deer's smarter than your deer..........
